To Snap Maris Homer Record
Killebrew: Mantle Has Best Chance
By JACK HAND
Of the Auociated Press
"ORLANDO, Fla. Mickey
Mantle recently picked Harmon
Killebrew as the man most like
lto break Roger Maris' record
.o,""61 home runs. Killebrew
Wednesday returned the com
pHrticnt by singling out Mickey
' as.Uie man to do the job.
"Mantle has the best chance
. taAH 62 or more because he is
: .switch hitter," said the Min
. naauta Twins' strong man, who
- hit- 46 himself last year. "But

Trial Grows
More Heated
- .'BALTIMORE (DTD Testimony
' grows more heated by the day
s 'the American Football
League's J$10 million anti-trust
v suit-against the National Foot-
ba.ll League in Federal Court
approaches its end.
The chief contention of the
AFL,. now two years old, is
; that' the older league expanded
s to 14 teams in a monopolistic
, maneuver aimed at preventing
. formation of the AFL.
! 7".!Ihe trial continues Wednes-
, day.- -
: Tuesday, Baltimore Colts
; owner Carroll Rosenbloom got
down on the defensive line for
i the, , NFL, , offering to Judge
, Rosiel Thomsen an explanation
; why. the NFL gave a franchise
for a team in Minneapolis. He
i said it did so because of the city
'' of Houston's refusal to lease
its -stadium for professional
football.
... Rosenbloom took the witness
stand as the case, being heard
.., by .-Judge Thomsen without a
: Jury, moved further into its
- fourth week. At the beginning,
the" trial was predicted to last
, about four weeks.
The AFL, however, disagrees
'. with the explanation offered by
Rosenbloom Tuesday. It claims
'.. it was injured as a result of the
NFL's beating it to the punch
; in granting a franchise in Min
t neapolis. The AFL claims the
action forced it to award a team
to the less lucrative Oakland,
' Calif.
Another witness was Paul
Brown, coach, general manager
and founder of the Cleveland
- Browns.
vBrown denied a statement at
tributed to him earlier in the
trinr by AFL attorney Ed Guinn.
' Gutun had quoted Brown as
' saying, "Nobody likes compel!
. (Jon. We have a monopoly and
we-want to keep it that way."
jpfown said he "never even
; thought anything like" the
1 statements attributed to him
. by.. Guinn,
: Redskins Get
Billy Barnes
'"WASHINGTON Ml The
. Washington Redskins, trying to
' breathe new life into the weak-
' est' offense in the. National
Football League, obtained vet-
: teran offensive halfback Billy
Barnes Wednesday in a trade
with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Barnes and defensive halfback
Bobby Freeman came in ex
change for Jim Schradcr, one
' of the league's top offensive
'centers, and defensive halfback

to-Btrenghten the Washington

Foul Helps
Chicago Win
' By United Press International
Ever hear of a team winning
a basketball game by commit
ting a foul? It happened Tues
day night in a wild American
Basketball League contest at
Pittsburgh.
Chicago led 121-119 when
Walt Mongham of the Rens hit
a layup and scored with five
seconds to go. But the officials
ruled he was fouled before the
shot and gave him two free
throws instead of two points.
He made only one and Chi
cago grabbed the rebound as
time ran out to preserve a 121
120 win.
Herschel Turner paced the
winners with 27 points, while
Kelly Coleman added 23.
Mangham and Chuck Curtis
hit 25 each for Pittsburgh, while
Connie Hawkins had 21 to push
his league-leading point total to
2,001. -
The win moved Chicago past
Pittsburgh in the chaotic East
ern Division chase. Cleveland
leads with 18-16, Chicago has
20-18, and Pittsburgh 17-17.
San Francisco is 18-19 in the
Western Division standings af
ter edging Hawaii, 119-111, for
its fourth straight.
The won-Iost records of the
four middle teams are impor
tant in view of the new playoff
setup announced by the league.
Last place New York and Ha
waii will meet the two worst of
the above quartet in first-round
activity.
The two winners will then
meet the other two teams and
those victors will battle it out
for the right to meet kingpin
Kansas City in a three-out-of-five
series for the title.
In Tuesday night's San Fran
cisco victory over Hawaii, three
Saints hit 21 Ken Sears, Mike
Farmer and Jim Francis. Ha
waii's Herbie Lee and Bill Spiv
ey hit 26 and 23 for the Chiefs.
Kansas City played like the
champs they are in bouncing
New York, 120-98. Larry Sta
verman hit 28 for the Steers,
while Roger Kaiser led the los
ers with 18 tallies.
